There is no fixed native resolution in Modul8. You decide the rendering resolution when you configure the second screen of your computer (on a dual display machine). In other words, Modul8 uses the full screen resolution to composite the final image. The maximum resolution is fixed by the video card.

Also, all your medias are rendered in their native size. All the effects and the filters are applied without scaling down the original size of your media. Of course, if you change the size of the media outside Modul8, it will have a different size in the composition. It means also that changing the size of the media can make huge difference in terms of performance.

Please also note that Modul8 applies a bi-linear filter to every layer in order to reduce the pixelization and to increase the quality of the rendering.

modul8 uses Syphon to share frames with madMapper. To enable Syphon, go to the Output menu and select Syphon or use the Shortcut cmd+Y.
In madMapper from the media-list, the current modul8 composition will be available from the Syphon Input Media list.

modul8 can send or receive DMX values. You must first go to the modul8 Preferences then select the DMX tab to choose the DMX controller to Send or receive DMX values.
Then create or use modules to control or send DMX values.

Resolution settings
Check that the native resolution of the device is not lower than the display setup of the computer. For example if your video projector is a 1280×720, using 1920×1080 won’t help at all and may even lower the quality of the rendering.

Refresh rates
Modul8 synchronizes itself to the display refresh rate to get the smoothest possible results. Generally it has been optimized for refresh rates from 50 to 60 Hz. It is better to avoid high frequencies that may lower the smoothness of the animation.

** Do not change the resolution settings when Modul8 is in full screen mode. **
